Travels With Maggie
Author: Pat Bean

ISBN: 9781544628615
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Travels with Maggie by Pat Bean is a book about one woman's fulfillment of a dream that began when she was 10 years old. It chronicles a 7,000-mile RV journey, mostly on backroads, through 23 states and Canada. The odyssey begins in May of 2006 from a daughter's home in Arkansas, and ends in time for Thanksgiving at another daughter's home in Texas. Bean's writing brings a much-needed feminine voice to the world of such travel writer greats as John Steinbeck, William Least Heat Moon, Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson and Charles Kuralt. Travels with Maggie is also the story of a woman's relationship with her canine companion, and it's a story about chasing birds across America by a fledgling birdwatcher. The book is written in such a way that readers can follow the author's adventures on a map - or in their own vehicle. While a realist who sees the changes that have taken place across America, the author prefers to look for their silver lining. "Change is change, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but mostly a combination." Calling herself a wondering-wanderer, Bean asks many questions as she travels. Sometimes there are no answers, but always there is enlightenment.

The Devil's Thief
Author: Lisa Maxwell
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1481494465
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 720
Book Description
In this spellbinding sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Last Magician, Esta and Harte set off on a cross-country chase through time to steal back the elemental stones they need to save the future of magic. Hunt the Stones. Beware the Thief. Avenge the Past. Esta’s parents were murdered. Her life was stolen. And everything she knew about magic was a lie. She thought the Book of Mysteries held the key to freeing the Mageus from the Order’s grasp, but the danger within its pages was greater than she ever imagined. Now the Book’s furious power lives inside Harte. If he can’t control it, it will rip the world apart to get its revenge, and it will use Esta to do it. To bind the power, Esta and Harte must track down four elemental stones scattered across the continent. But the world outside the city is nothing like they expected. There are Mageus beyond the Brink not willing to live in the shadows—and the Order isn’t alone in its mission to crush them. In St. Louis, the extravagant World’s Fair hides the first stone, but an old enemy is out for revenge and a new enemy is emerging. And back in New York, Viola and Jianyu must defeat a traitor in a city on the verge of chaos. As past and future collide, time is running out to rewrite history—even for a time-traveling thief.
